food

We are becoming very adventurous with our food, I love my kids.. they are willing to try anything and usually end up liking what they try.. especially J I can only think of 1 food that she doesn't like (peas).
Yesterday while the 3 bags of laundry were getting done (1 weeks worth) we walked to the fruit market, bought our veggies for Thanksgiving.. lots of sweet potatoes, Idaho potatoes to be stuffed with broccoli, cheese, sour cream and butter :), various other things for my roasted vegetable dish and Brussel sprouts.. yes we have never had them and decided it would be a good day to try them. I bought 10 pieces and came home and roasted them with olive oil, salt and pepper for about 30 minutes. They were really good (surprisingly) most people who make them boil or steam them and over do it which releases a very strong flavor. J ate 3 an wanted more :), even A who is pickier than the other 2, ate 1 and liked it. We decided that they would taste better along with other roasted veggies, so I think I will be including them in our diet for months to come.

Today was more cleaning, some homeschooling, mostly math, and then relaxing for me.. my wisdom tooth is growing again.. and so now I have pain in my cheek, throat, head and my sinuses are acing up.. all because of this darn tooth that needs to come out but probably never will because I am waayyy too chicken to go to the dentist and have them remove it surgically. They can't just pull it out, noo they have to go and cut into my mouth.. umm no thanks! and not to mention the price for them to do it... (no insurance)

hopefully it will be over for Thursday and I can cook in peace.... I so enjoy cooking... :)
